Biography
Fabian Strittmatter was born on 16 July 1889 in Beelitz, located 12 miles southwest of Potsdam and 20 miles southwest of Berlin, then located in Prussia. Strittmatter joined the Imperial German Army in 1907 and rose to the rank of Lieutenant during World War I, and he was wounded at the Battle of the Somme in 1916. After the war, he became an anti-Semite, believing that the Jewish diplomats sent by Germany to negotiate the Treaty of Versailles in 1919 betrayed the German Empire and lost the war for Germany in exchange for their own personal benefit. He became a member of the Nazi Party under Adolf Hitler, and he took part in the 1923 Beer Hall Putsch against the government of Bavaria. This failed, and Strittmatter was imprisoned for treason. He was released when Hitler seized power in 1933, and he became the Mayor of Beelitz under Nazi Germany. He forced the Poles, Jews, and handicapped (physically and mentally) people of the town into concentration camps during World War II, and he was charged with war crimes after the war's end. He died in 1951 in prison.
